i think i've mentioned the really great name choices we have so far for this baby (t minus 20 days): tractor paul smart and The Baby Sister.
to alleviate the pain of having to decide between these questionable options, we played a little game last week as a family where the kids (and paul) would say a name out loud; if the baby moved or kicked, it meant she liked the name and it would therefore be considered.
i am not lying when i tell you that we played this game for a long time, and the ONLY name she responded to was paul's suggestion: butch.
awesome.

Butch could work. Think about it.
Oh no. You have some serious work to do. Next date night head to the back corner of BORDERS. Pull out the baby name books and go for it. This is serious people. I am convinced that those babies who come home from the hospital without a name and are referred to as "the baby" for a few days will certainly go through a major identity crisis later in life and will require many years of counseling. I'm just sure of it.
Butch is beautiful and often overlooked for a girl.
Yes, please let's have a get together with the Reeder/Smarts/us soon. Of course, maybe this is bad timing with you having a baby in the next five minutes. But let's plan something soon.
Sheesh. Time flies. I can't believe you're already at the end here. I always had a few names that I liked and named them in the hospital. I could never commit until I saw them in person.
Butch was Todd's other name for me...
I already am this baby's favorite aunt, bonding over the possibility of such an unfortunate name. :)
I will personally pay for her entire college education at her school of choice if you name her Tractor Paul Smart. And she has to go by the full first name, and never by a nickname. And when someone asks you where you got that name from you have to say that you thought it was very feminine and lovely. Without smiling or laughing.
Deal?
...or..........no deal. "feminine and lovely"? there's no way i could even sincerely say those words without cracking up, let alone when it's a bold-faced, obvio lie.
weenie.
